Back in the office Karine Marconi, Chloe Vila and Isabelle Martinez run the show. These wonderful ladies
look after the ordering system, the dealers, the design team and the general day to day running of the
company - without them it would be chaos.

manufacturing gliders and producing prototypes as well as researching materials and manufacturing
processes for our future products. He is backed up by a superb team managed by Khanh and Phong
